The effect was modest compared to prescription medications but consistent and reproducible

For example, the overexpression of SIRT1 can decrease the acetylation level of retinoblastoma protein (Rb) in Pkd1-deficient MEK cells but increase its phosphorylation level, regulating the proliferation signal of renal cystic epithelial cells, and accelerate the growth of cysts in ADPKD patients (Zhou et al., 2013)
They help signal fullness to the brain, slow how quickly food moves through the stomach, and reduce cravings for high-calorie foods
This comparison is crucial for understanding which medication might offer better outcomes for patients
